Snowshoeing to work would be just soooooo cool!  8)

Well looks like I will be playing in the snow later this week then. We always get it on the hills just up the road from me.

Well it is certainly right about the dense fog here.... can't see across the yard to the unit opposite and it's only about 70 ft away!

And a 70% chance a snow in Norfolk ...... woopee!!  :lol: Good job I haven't started the engine swap in the 110.

[muddyweb]

Can anyone explain the percentage figures they use for these things ?

"There is a 50% chance of snow"


So... it's either going to snow.......  or it's not   :shock:



;-)

[davidlandy]

a brilliant question, so how would it work with say 30% ???

Followed up a few companies selling the £29.99 sets of snow chains on E-bay this afternoon.

And the price of snow chains for 'proper' sized tyres (well for my 33" x 15" x 12.5")?

"Ah- well sir you're into the Comercial tyre sizes now- we can charge more for them....."

Yes- you're not f******g kidding are you- £500 for a set of four snow  chains!! I'll take my chances without them this Winter thanks.

If I've got 40% snow coming, whats the other 60% of the weather going to be?

OR

If I'm gettin 40% snow, who's getting the other 60% of it?

OR

What weather do i have the greater percentage chance of getting?

What the hell do the percentages mean?

[way2deep]

what they mean is:  if it  was going to snow there is a forty percent chance of it happening.but as it only forty percent  it's ten percent away from ....maybe yes maybe no... :lol:

[muddyweb]

I am absolutely certain that there is a distinct possbility of there being a likelyhood of the snow falling at some point in the country in the near future,   and I can predict without fear of contradiction that this possibility may transpire to be a reality and when this occurs then we will all be reassured that my predictions were indeed almost entirely accurate.

Looking at the Met Office site again- it actualy says a 40% chance of "disruption" whatever that means? So not even a 40% chance of snow then? Reading between the lines all it means is a chance of snow for Scotland and the rest is just covering their a***s.

[oakeedokee]

they should change the map to read YES, NO or DUNNO.

[laser_jock99]

Slowly being downgraded.......

Now we're at only 30% risk of disruption....b****r.
